Google offers a 'The Mandalorian' AR experience, but for select 5G phones only

So, 5G seems to be big in the galaxy far, far away as Google and Lucasfilm launch a The Mandalorian augmented reality experience on the 5G Pixel and other "select 5G Android" phones. But as Android Police reports, they could sideload the app on older, 4G-only handsets, and the experience still works. The experience is built on ArCore, so it will presumably work on phones that support that.

The Mandalorian AR Experience turns you into a bounty hunter following the trail of Mando and the Child. It will let you interact with characters and learn more about the Star Wars show's first season. You can even take the snowy scenes into your home and share these with others. 

As part of Star WarsMando Monday, Google even promises Pixel owners to "keep an eye out for additional exclusive content outside of the app as well."

'The Mandalorian' to premiere on Disney+ on Oct. 30

Since the production team behind The Mandalorian was able to work remotely, the Star Wars show can keep to its schedule. Disney announced on Twitter that its second season will premiere on October 30. It'll resume the weekly release schedule of the first season. There's no trailer for now, but we're hoping to get a teaser soon. The Mandalorian will be the first big show the streaming service will debut in months. Marvel Studios' The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was supposed to debut over the summer, but COVID-19 delayed the production.
